Answer: 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Drew salary is $110,250 and he gets a married exception of $4,000.

This reduces the taxable income to:

= 110,250 - 4,000

= $106,250

He pays $2,656.25 in taxes on that taxable income so the income tax rate can be found as:

106,250 * tax rate = 2,656.25

Tax rate = 2,656.25 / 106,250

= 2.5%
